Niðrerir

His name is pronounced roughly NIH-thre-rir — the ð (eth) is a soft, voiced “th” as in “this,” and the stress falls on the first syllable, as in Old Norse. In IPA: /ˈnɪðrɛrɪr/.

Niðrerir is an adventurer in Land of Song: a Celeste warlock, and a wandering mercenary. Among the Celeste’une he is a sheiah — a sage, teacher, master, or captain. What he is beyond that — where he comes from, and what he carries — he keeps to himself; those who travel with him learn it, if at all, in their own time.

He came ashore on Tyre with the others of the crossing. The wreck took his Celeste cloak, and without it he cannot fly; at the Moon and Phoenix he took a traveling cloak in its place.
